This figure comprises 15,804,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 5,787,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Notably, the company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Aspen Aerogels has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets indicates a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, ensuring that the reported figures are solely reflective of Aspen Aerogels's own operations. As the industry increasingly focuses on carbon reduction, Aspen Aerogels may consider establishing more robust climate commitments to align with global sustainability goals.
